A sweet and simple rhubarb juice. Perfect over ice or used to make othe drnks.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds fresh rhubarb

3/4 cup sugar

Juice of 1/2 lime

1 drop red food coloring (optional)

Directions

Chop the rhubarb into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange in a 3-quart pot. Add enough water to just cover the fruit.

Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain using a fine strainer or jelly bag into a large bowl. Once the dripping has stopped and the pulp is thick and pasty discard the pulp.

Add the sugar to the juice. Chill for at least 4 hours. Add the lime juice and food coloring.
